1. I live less than two hours from both an 11000 foot volcano and the ocean; I could go skiing and build a sand-castle in the same day. Oregon has beaches, volcanoes, high deserts, and the large and amazingly green Willamette River Valley. Oregon is WAY green. SO many trees. 2. The weather is temperate. In fact, the mean temperature of January, the coldest month, is 45 degrees, only 15 degrees less than the mean temperature of the warmest month, July. 3. The people are friendly, laidback, and helpful. 4. Oregonian drivers are the most courteous in the nation. They will NEVER honk at you unless a collision is inevitable. They stop for pedestrians, even when the light is green. 5. We have the best coffee in America, and probably the most coffee, as well. My hometown of only 20000 has more than 10 coffee shops.

So, you might want to avoid the whole northwestern corner of the lower 48. Any other Downers out there who have a volcano(s) in their state/province/country/general area? I'm just curious of course. ![]() Quote:
